In the heart of Fowey.
Seasteps is a spacious town house in a waterside location on the beautiful River Fowey. The accommodation is arranged on four floors and the house is situated near all local amenities.
Fowey is a charming small town with shops, independent restaurants, pubs and galleries. There is a sheltered beach at Readymoney Cove reached by a walk of about 15 minutes through the town. There are lovely creek walks and the possibility of taking a fishing trip, hiring a kayak to explore the water or visiting Polruan or Mevagissey by ferry.
The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a short drive away, as are many other beaches and National Trust properties, including Lanhydrock House.
Outside
A narrow walled garden accessed via a flight of steps leads onto a platform and steps to the river and foreshore. Barbecue and furniture provided.
The local area
Fowey (pronounced “Foy”) is an inviting waterside town steeped in history. It stretches for a mile or so along the banks of the River Fowey and is a magnet for sailing enthusiasts. This vibrant place is a real joy to explore; whether you want to shop, sail, go to the beach, walk the South West Coast Path or simply watch the world go by whilst enjoying a pint.
Literary fanatics will be familiar with Fowey as it is synonymous with Daphne du Maurier. The author (famous for novels including Rebecca and Jamaica Inn) moved to the town with her family aged 20 and soon began writing short stories. A few years later, her first novel was published and she continued as a successful writer inspired by Fowey and the surrounding Cornish landscape.
Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey enjoys fantastic views across the water to Polruan. It also has a sheltered, family friendly beach at Readymoney Cove from which you can walk to St Catherine’s Castle, which is the remains of a small fort built during Henry VIII’s reign to defend the harbour entrance.
There’s never a shortage of things to see and do in the town, with annual events such as the Fowey Festival of Arts and Literature in early May, and the Regatta in late August, both being colourful and lively events worth adding to your calendar.
A holiday cottage in Fowey really is a fantastic base for an escape to Cornwall, with plenty to see and do, plus a great choice of places to eat. And if you fancy venturing out of the town, why not take the ferry across the river to Bodinnick and drive on to the idyllic fishing village of Polperro, or the family and dog-friendly beaches at Talland Bay.
